Mill Creek Road & Trail System
Just a few miles from town, Mill Creek Road (Forest Road 665) offers a variety of off-road trails that wind through forests, meadows, and ridgelines. It’s a great area for beginner to intermediate off-roaders, with plenty of places to stop and take in the views.
East Fork Road to Silver Falls
Head east of Pagosa Springs on East Fork Road (Forest Road 667) for a classic San Juan adventure. This trail follows the East Fork of the San Juan River, offering beautiful river views and ending with a short hike to Silver Falls, one of the area’s most stunning waterfalls.
Wolf Creek Pass Scenic Drive
For a mix of paved and dirt adventure, the drive up Wolf Creek Pass offers sweeping views and access to a handful of forest service roads that branch off into deeper mountain terrain. In the fall, this drive is especially breathtaking with golden aspens lining the trail.
Piedra River Trail Access Roads
The Piedra River area north of town is filled with rugged dirt roads that lead to hiking trailheads, fishing spots, and hidden camping areas. Taking the Bronco here is a perfect way to combine off-roading with other outdoor activities.
